			Out of stock

	Hobby Master 1/48 scale HA7502: Boeing P-26C Peashooter of 17th Sqn, Chinese Air Force, Nanking, China, 1937. Model has previously been on display and has the bomb rack fixed in place. Box has a repaired tear to a tuck in flap. Length 6 inches Wingspan 7 inches In 1934 the Chinese Air Force ordered 11 Model 281 aircraft, the export version of the Boeing P-26. The "Peashooters" were assigned to the 17th Pursuit Squadron of the 3rd Pursuit Group based at Chuyung Airfield near Nanking. The aircraft were delivered with an overall light grey with large black letters. In mid August 1937 the 17th PS began defending Nanking from Japanese G3M attacks. Due to losses from the new Japanese A5M and a lack of spare parts the Model 281 was out of service when Nanking fell on December 13 1937. Boeing P-26C Peashooter Designed as a pursuit monoplane for the USAAC, the P-26 was first flown on March 20th, 1932. Affectionately nicknamed "Peashooter," the P-26 was the first all-metal production fighter. Its wings were braced with wire rather than rigid struts, which created less drag and allowed for greater maneuverability and faster flight-so fast, in fact, that landing flaps had to be added to slow the aircraft down upon final approach. The cockpit area sat forward of center, and the pilot had nothing but a small windscreen to protect his face and a protruding headrest to protect his head.
